Sorry...my bad...

It's not 20% per plant....It's 20% company wide.

I have a few other choice words for people like him....but if you cant say something nice....

Maybe edit more then that.....As much as I hate the guy I would not even post his phone number on a public forum.....

Holy crap PREMiERdrum.....I think spacedude is the perfect guy for one of your crews to interview.....lol true story.... guy told me he was voting no... I asked why? "its a shitty contract" whats shitty about it? "its a shitty contract" So you have no idea WHY its a shitty contract??? "its a shitty contract"..... HOLY CRAP...everyone can have an opinion on what to vote, but god damn at least KNOW why your voting what your voting....

In a couple of weeks. They should hit the dealers by late November/early December.

We are still producing the the 2011's....But its more or less the final orders. We will produce the 11's right up to the time we start the 12's. There will be about a 10 truck gap between the last 11 and the first 12. I am still seeing those VERY nice Texas editions coming down the line now and then.

You can order the 2012's now. We start production in mid/late October, they should hit the dealers late November.

Whats funny is in the past during contract talks, the UAW would hand out flyers to all the employees. In a nut shell it said to tell all press/media...NO COMMENT. What can I say, the media is good at what they do. They always manage to find the dumbest, the fattest or the loudest (sometimes a combination of ALL 3) to use in the news reals or quotes.... :gang:

Please, please, please....STFU Gary!!!!!

except F truck production there was extremely minimal compared to Fiesta production. However I do understand Fiesta production being there due to "trade agreements".

Typical adjustments.While the truck as a whole is unchanged, A few things here and there change every year and some may need new tooling.

Yep, what Marginal posted. We have a few TT (tooling trial) and PP(pre-production) models floating around the property.

I know right!!

Well I know time off from work made a difference in the amount of money received for profit sharing. However this is a bonus for passing the contract so the answer should be yes and weather laid off or on medical you still have the right to vote.

Have to agree. The two door just screams old style FULL size Bronco.

Okay people, its getting close to crunch. There has got to be some info leaking out about the next contract....anyone?anyone? Bueller?

So DTP got them yesterday, not bad for a wind breaker. Now was it the union or the company that paid for them. The Jackets were made by UFCW workers here in the U.S. I know in the past when the company got us something (shirts, jackets) it was UFCW maid. Ironically, the stuff the union usually gets us is made in Taiwan or China...lol

Any word on the possibility of going to 3 shifts 5/8's at DTP??? Been a while since we have heard anything. I know Wood haven already went to it. Any one from Wood haven (or is it Woodhaven), whats the breaks and start times???

Holy Shit!!!! Even a topic about an important event turns into a political pissing contest Let me settle this once and for all..... NO POLITICIAN OR PARTY IS WORTH A SHIT, THEY ALL LIE TO GET WHAT THEY WANT!!!!!!!

Side note...We had a new 2012 FX2 out behind the building last night (was going over to our new mod center for decals).....Man did it look sharp. Black rims. Black grill. All black interior (except for for some small trim, the vents and shifter). Old style FX sticker. Blacked out head/tail lights. Real sharp.
